US Iran War Strait Of Hormuz: Trump Started Iran War Over Nukes, He Will Give It Up For Hormuz: Report– www.ndtv.com

US President Donald Trump may be prepared to abandon the pursuit of a formal nuclear agreement with Iran if Tehran fully reopens the Strait of Hormuz, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal.

Rather than insisting on a full and final nuclear agreement, Trump’s administration could accept the restoration of shipping through the key oil chokepoint as the basis for ending its military campaign in the region and extending the existing ceasefire, the report states.

The Wall Street Journal, citing US officials, reported that Trump has spent weeks preparing the ground for such an outcome and has privately told senior aides that he could walk away without obtaining a new nuclear agreement with Tehran.

Iran has presented a long list of conditions for reopening the waterway, including billions of dollars in payments, an end to the US naval blockade, the withdrawal of American forces from the region, the lifting of sanctions and the release of frozen Iranian assets.
